In real life on an aircraft carrier they use a board called the "ouija" just consists of nuts and bolts to represent planes in various conditions such as rearming refueling etc, never anything as elaborate as this.

Idk, on the Connie they had a precise model of the flight deck with scale airplanes. There was no room for error when spotting aircraft. I think the OP is correct about this being a training piece. Probably meant to be rolled from classroom to classroom.

Yeah, it seems more like a classroom teaching aid. Interesting though! Are the planes fixed to it, or can you move them around? The hull number is non-existant, preceding the canceled USS United States which was never built.

Thank you all for the input! The models are not fixed and can be moved around. They have a little metal piece on top to grab them.
